i <br /> 7 <br /> L <br /> ZAP ENERGY <br /> The following table identifies the amount of each solvent needed to bring the room to the <br /> limiting vapor concentration. Given the infrequent need for housekeeping operations using <br /> solvents within the room, particularly over the course of a single room air change, solvent <br /> vapor concentrations should remain safely below the 1% LC50 limiting concentration at all <br /> times. <br /> Substance Inhalation LC50 1% LC50 Vapor Mass Required Minimum Number of 5 <br /> (Limiting to Bring a 13,440 cf. mL Doses to Bringthe <br /> Concentration) (380,578 L) Room to Room to the Limiting <br /> the Limiting Vapor Concentration <br /> Concentration <br /> Acetone 50.1 mg/L(rat 8 hr) 0.50 mg/L 190 g 47 <br /> 76 mg/L(rat 4 hr) <br /> Ethanol 38 mg/L(rat 10 hr) 0.38 mg/L 145 g 36 <br /> 39 mg/L(mouse 4 hr) <br /> 117-125 mg/L(rat 4 hr) <br /> Isopropanol 40 mg/L(rat 8 hr) 0.40 mg/L 152 g 38 <br /> 53 mg/L(mouse) <br /> 72.6 mg/L(rat) <br /> 72.6 mg/L(rat 4 hr) <br /> In addition to the identified solvents, certain cleaning operations may generate hydrogen <br /> gas through the reaction of lithium metal with water.This reaction generates 1.6 L of <br /> hydrogen gas per gram of reacted lithium metal. While lithium inventories may vary <br /> significantly between the components being cleaned, anticipated inventories are on the <br /> order of 1-100 grams.As the following table indicates, significantly larger amounts of <br /> Lithium metal are required to exceed the 25% LFL limiting concentration for hydrogen gas <br /> within the room. <br /> Substance LFL in Air 25% LFL Gas Volume Required to Bring Mass of Lithium <br /> (Limiting a 13,440 cf.
